    Testing Father's Water

    My parents have a pool and I asked them to bring a water sample when they came down (2 hours away) for the weekend. The water sample was over 24 hours old so that may make the testing obsolete. 18 x 36 concrete pool painted with chlorinated rubber with fiberglass sides. DE filter (40ish years...

    Re: Georgia Pool Build.... No Longer O/B :) Yes, that's around what I paid. They added $77 for shipping. Took us less than an hour to put together. Super easy.

    Georgia Pool Build.... FIRED PB need advice please!!!

    Re: Georgia Pool Build.... No Longer O/B :) We had the sockets put in during the build. I waited a year before we bought it. I had to save some $ first. Plus it was much cheaper buying it online than through our builder.

    Re: Georgia Pool Build.... No Longer O/B :) We just put in the same thing. It's awesome and can be removed but not moved around. It's getting more action than our slide.

    SLAM Question

    When I opened my pool, the water was clear. During the 5 days that the cover was off, I threw some bags of shock in there (leftover from last year) and added some bleach as instructed on here daily until the pool company came to show me how to start everything up. That being said, do I still...

    Pool cover off but not opening for 1.5 Wks.

    Thanks for the help everyone. Pool isn't as clear but it's not green yet. I talked the pool company into coming tomorrow [emoji106] Yes, I am looking forward to taking full control over my pool and not have to rely on anyone. I'll be watching, writing and taking video tomorrow for sure. Come...

    Pool cover off but not opening for 1.5 Wks.

    Thank you! No, the pumps are not on. I have no idea how to start it up, however, when they come, I'll be taking notes so I can do it myself next year. Funny, I told them I just needed help starting up the system and did not want any chemicals. They didn't seem to quite compute that. I'll have...

    Thanks for the reply. I've stocked up on Wal-Mart brand (8.25) and some from Sam's, in preparation for the big SLAM. I'll have to figure out how much 2ppm will be.

    Scaling along waterline tile and in grout.

    Thank you for your responses. I have tried MA already and it somewhat works. I mixed 1:5 with water and put it in a spray bottle. It will just take me forever plus having to hang over the pool....ugh. I was crossing fingers that there may have been an easier solution. Is this going to happen no...

    Scaling along waterline tile and in grout.

    This is all around the pool. At some points, it travels into the plaster.
